fuel consumption

Hi
My Mac 26x has a Tohatsu 50hp 2 stroke. Could anyone tell me the likely mpg at 10mph or how far I would get on a tankful? Info much appreciated.
Regards
Jim

Hi Jim

I don't have a Tohatsu, mine's a Suzuki 55 2-stroke, but I would guess the performance is pretty similar. I reckon I get about 1 mile/litre, which is mostly doing around 6 kts along the river to and from my mooring. So that's 25 miles on a tank.

Cheers

poole to yarmouth, about 15miles took most of an overfilled tank at 17kts.. I guess about 20-23l used. We have the same lump.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice; In practice, there is.
